one word niceeeeeeeee

it is done.... i hit 8spi today, was making some nice power *PFFFFF* bov went and pop off came a hose.. some more fine tuning requred but it is boosted i kinda have half expensive turbo clamps and half crappy clamps, and keep blowing off the crappy clamps ill get some better ones tommorrow

BAAAAH, made the mistake of boosting into the crankcase ventalation, and blew out a rear inlet manifold seal, then boosting along and bang... not good... cant find the issue as of yet but its running, not leaking oil just making disturbing noises... thinking spark issue

she didnt like the boost cracked head/block/piston or something... compressions all over the shop, vac leaks, funny goop everywhere, did headgaskets 2 months ago soo thats not likley to be that... dropping a later model engine in it, new rings/ copper headgaskets, cam bearings, full gasket set.. just make it last till i import all my parts from the states and build a new engine Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ok, another update.. reason for not boosting 3" zorst comming next , probbly 2-3 weeks, should be making some real nice power, someone i know with a similar setup ran a 13flat on 7psi, its a stocker.. exactly same manifolds are mine tho, he woulda run 12s/11s with 11psi (what he was supposed to be running) 2 bar working + tuned 560cc injectors (53lb/h) engine mounts replaced now has copper headgaskets heres the old ones Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Why dont you just turbo a rb30? Should be easier??

Yeah, but VL Turbo's are like tampons, every second c*nts got one! How many VN Calais Turbo's have you seen? I agree, it would have been easier, but I give PaRaDX616 more respect for doing something different.

you can't drop an old motor into a newer car. IE. Putting an rb30 into a vn,vr,vx,vt etc.. you can't do RB30 into vk,vb,vh is okay though
